Knowledge of both nutrition and metabolism

Motivation:
Three years ago Rick found himself at a place of zero motivation for fitness. He had spent 5 years getting in shape and then lost the desire to work out. He knew something would have to change or he would be back to a size 38 waist within a year or two.

He Googled “Fat Camps in Denver” and Genesis came up. He didn’t know what to expect but signed up for a 5 week session at Capitol Hill. Looking back at life’s decisions he really thinks signing up was easily in his top 10 best decisions. The group environment made him strive harder and being pushed beyond his maximum threshold became easier knowing others were struggling beside him.

The first camp ended and he kept signing up. Rick saw the change in his body starting to occur within 10 weeks. He felt strong and nothing made him feel alive like running the steps of the capital. Rick wants to help you reach that feeling of “Alive” that he found.

Specializations/Philosophy:

Anybody can get fit if they are willing to put in the time and effort. Fitness is a lifestyle that requires balanced nutrition and at least 5 hours of exercise every week.

“Diets DON’T work, healthy eating and exercise DO!”

5th Place 3rd Grade Spelling Bee

Experience/Background:

Genesis camper turned instructor

Owned a lemonade stand for almost 3 hours

Expertise:

Workouts emphasizing balance, agility and core strength

Metabolic and Nutritional knowledge

Amazingly adept at chewing gum and tap dancing at the same time

Motivation:

“The first boot camp I took with Genesis changed my life in a way I never thought possible. Though I'd always been "health conscious" and regularly worked out, it wasn't until completing my first camp that I began to see and feel the changes in my body I'd always wanted. After more than a year of consecutive boot camps, more and more pieces have fallen into place. Each little epiphany making a positive change in my health and life overall. My motivation is sharing my knowledge and experience and getting people to the point where I am: Discovering that achieving optimal health is no mystery. All it involves hard work and the will.”

Specializations/Philosophy:

“It's not only the 1 hour you put in for your workout, it's the other 23 in the day. Make good choices with your nutrition. This combined with keeping up on your workouts will help you achieve your goals faster than you could ever imagine.”
